Product Details
The Rieker R1400 Liv 00 is a comfortable leather sneaker with classic styling. Wearers find that the shoe, with its leather/synthetic upper and synthetic sole is both lightweight and comfortable. These shoes may run large, but only slightly. The shoe’s two-tone look and decorative zipper make them a stylish addition to anyone’s wardrobe.
Fit
The soft, pliable leather used in the construction of this sneaker ensures that the upper conforms to the shape of the foot, providing a snug, comfortable fit. They fact that they are very lightweight for a leather shoe adds to the comfort of the wearing experience. In terms of fit, the shoes are generally true to size, but some users may find that they run slightly large, both in length and width. But as the difference is only slight, wearing these shoes with a thick pair of socks should provide a good fit.
Upper
The uppers of the Rieker R1400 Liv 00 are constructed from a combination of leather and synthetic material. Contrast stitching gives the uppers a stylish contemporary look. The two-tone uppers come in one color combination: Whisky/Lake, which is basically tan and navy. The upper is mostly navy, with tan at the toe and heel. The shoe has both a lace-up and zipper closure. The zipper, however, is purely decorative, and doesn’t allow the user to slip the shoes on and off. The upper is soft and breathable, as is the textile liner, making the shoe comfortable on the foot.
Insole and Outsole
The Rieker R1400 Liv 00 has a removable cushioned footbed and a flexible synthetic rubber outsole for carefree walking. The outsole is attached to the upper with 360-degree stitching, making the shoes more durable. The outsole is sipped on the bottom for traction and stability. One complaint that users have about these sneakers is their complete lack of arch support.
